The ABC sacked broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf after a high-level and co-ordinated letter-writing campaign from pro-Israel lobbyists that directly targeted the corporation’s chair, Ita Buttrose, and managing director David Anderson.
Dozens of leaked messages from a WhatsApp group called Lawyers for Israel show how members of the group repeatedly wrote to the ABC demanding Lattouf be sacked, and threatened legal action if she was not.
According to an unlawful termination claim Lattouf later filed, ABC managers told her the morning program had been well received by audiences. But on the third day of her contract, according to the claim, she was told she was sacked, with her boss, Elizabeth Green, saying the order had come from “above me”. The stated reason, according to Lattouf’s claim, was that she had reposted a Human Rights Watch report saying Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war.
By retweeting the new Human Rights Watch report, which ABC itself wrote an article on two hours prior to her retweet?
What sort of restriction could that at all violate?

*The report was not written by the ABC
*She shared it on Instagram, not Twitter
*She had been warned ahead of time not to share anything controversial.
*She was on a short term contract and was paid for all shifts regardless .
Seems the disinformation has worked on you.
